Introduction
Clavmoxy Forte Syrup is an antibiotic medicine that helps treat bacterial infections of the ear, nose, throat, chest, lungs, teeth, skin, and urinary tract. It is capable of killing bacteria that have become resistant to other therapies and thus also helps treat tuberculosis that is resistant to other treatments.
Directions for Use
Your child must complete the entire course of antibiotics. Stopping too soon may cause the bacteria to multiply again or cause another infection.
How it works
Clavmoxy Forte Syrup is an antibiotic. It has two active agents amoxycillin and clavulanic acid. Amoxycillin works by preventing the formation of the bacterial protective covering (cell wall) essential for the survival of the bacteria. Whereas clavulanic acid serves a special purpose of inhibiting an enzyme (beta-lactamase) that is produced by resistant bacteria. This makes the combination of amoxycillin and clavulanic acid an effective line of treatment for many types of infections.
Quick Tips
Your child must complete the entire course of antibiotics. Stopping too soon may cause the bacteria to multiply again or cause another infection. Your child may have a bitter taste in the mouth after the intake of Clavmoxy Forte Syrup. Eating citrus fruit or sipping plenty of water or fruit juice may help. Encourage your child to drink plenty of water in case diarrhea develops as a side effect. Never give Clavmoxy Forte Syrup until and unless prescribed by the doctor. Do not give Clavmoxy Forte Syrup to treat common cold and flu-like symptoms caused by viruses. Never save medicine for future illnesses. Check ‘expiry’ before giving Clavmoxy Forte Syrup to your child. Immediately discard all the expired medicines. Stop Clavmoxy Forte Syrup immediately if your child develops an itchy rash, facial swelling, or breathing difficulty. Report to the doctor without any delay.

Frequently asked questions
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Clavmoxy Forte Syrup?
Clavmoxy Forte Syrup may interact with other medications or substances. Before starting Clavmoxy Forte Syrup, always inform your child's doctor about any other medications your child is taking. It is crucial to consult with a healthcare professional before administering any medication to your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Clavmoxy Forte Syrup?
Antibiotics generally don't interfere with the ingredients in vaccines or cause adverse reactions in children who recently received one. However, it is best to avoid vaccinating until your child has recovered from their illness. As soon as they feel better, the vaccine can be administered after consulting with their doctor.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Clavmoxy Forte Syrup on a long-term basis?
Periodically, when treatment is prolonged, your child's doctor may perform kidney and liver function tests to monitor their condition.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Clavmoxy Forte Syrup to my child?
Giving a higher dose of this medicine can increase the risk of side effects. If your child experiences increased symptoms, please consult their doctor for re-evaluation.
Can I stop giving Clavmoxy Forte Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
No, do not stop giving this medicine until the entire course of treatment is completed. Even if you feel better, it's crucial to continue for the prescribed time as the medication might still provide beneficial effects. Symptoms may improve before the infection is fully cured.
Can the use of Clavmoxy Forte Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Clavmoxy Forte Syrup can cause diarrhea. This is because it kills harmful bacteria in the body. Additionally, this medication might also disrupt the good bacteria present in your child's stomach and lead to diarrhea. Encourage them to drink plenty of water or other fluids if they experience diarrhea. If diarrhea persists and you notice signs of dehydration like less frequent urination with dark colored and strong-smelling urine, consult a doctor before giving any additional medication.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Most of the time, bacteria do not follow viral infections. Giving antibiotics for a viral infection can increase the risk of side effects. It is important to consult with your child's doctor before using antibiotics.
The mucus coming out of my child’s nose is yellow-green. Is it a sign of a bacterial infection?
Yellow or green mucus in the nose does not necessarily indicate a need for antibiotics. It is normal for mucus to thicken during a common cold and change from clear to yellow or green. Symptoms often last for 7-10 days.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
Seek medical attention immediately if your child experiences signs of severe allergic reactions (difficulty breathing, skin rashes), gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea) or liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting). While rare, these are serious side effects requiring expert care.
